This is playing with FLY STITCH and a few beads.  I found the dear little penguins in a book called " Bead Embroidery Stitch Samples " The Tree trunk is a bugle bead and the Penguins have bead heads and bodies.  I don't have any yellow beads so used FRENCH KNOTS instead

Embroidered butterfly TAST ( Take a stitch Tuesday 2012 )

I love the butterfly design in Linda Seward's Patchwork book. I have stitched it for the Take a stitch Tuesday 2012 challenge.

Embroidery TAKE A STITCH TUESDAY 2012

I have nearly caught up with a few more stitches for the TAST challenge.

This is my pretty pathetic attempt at stitching a cottage in Scotland we lived in for seven years

I have used French Knots, Buttonhole Stitch, Satin Stitch, Wave Stitch, Couching and Coral Stitch.

I am not happy with the roof as it looks as if all the slates have blown off ! I will do a bit more stitching on the roof when I have time : )

The cottage was haunted when we lived there. I wonder if it still is
